Hi Richard and David,
First of all, the fourth generation Apple TV also supports Bluetooth keyboards.
It did not when it was first released, but a later TVOS updated added Bluetooth
keyboard support.
Once the TVOS 10 update is released in a few weeks there is also single sign-in
although I am not sure how this works if, for example, you use different
passwords for let’s say Netflix, Youtube and Hulu.
The Apple TV Fourth Generation is available with 32 Gb internal storage for
$199 US and with 64 Gb for $249. This storage is for downloading apps and so
on, you cannot record shows with the fourth generation Apple TV nor could you
with previous versions.
As Richard already said, apps like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube and so on are all
free. I would imagine that pretty much all apps which require a subscription
would offer the app for free. Keep in mind that at this point many apps you can
get on the Apple TV require a cable subscription to work and do not offer a
stand-along subscription via the Apple TV. I believe this is the case with
Disney.
I am pretty sure you can watch and get a subscription for the mlb network via
the Apple TV.
I think for anybody who watches a fair bit of TV the Apple TV may not yet be a
satisfactory replacement although I really like ours and think it’s a
worthwhile item to have for anybody who is involved in the Apple ecosystem and
especially if you want a beautifully accessible platform for Netflix, Youtube
and so on.
. There have been rumours that apple is negotiating with major content
providers so they can offer an A La Card TV service where you can pay for
channels you want without being forced to subscribe to channel bundles which
may include stuff you never watch. However, it does not look like Apple is even
close to reaching agreements with these content providers and one theory I
heard is that Apple thinks they are top dog and approach these negotiations
with a fair bit of ssuperiority and self-importance thinking these major
content providers which are huge companies also are going to fall to their
knees thanking Apple for what they want to do and offer them killer deals.
Apparently this is not so and the two sides are still miles apart from reaching
an agreement as to how this would work.
Regards,
Sieghard

In short, not all, or even most, shows on the major networks are available on
Netflix.
Sometimes you wait a year or more before a TV series shows up on Netflix.
All the ones you mentioned, Netflix, Hulu, and MLB, are subscriptions. The apps
are free, but only useful with a paid subscription.
If you get the Apple TV, you will be able to use the VoiceOver feature to enter
your login information for the various subscriptions.
With the 3rd Generation Apple TV, you could also sync a Bluetooth keyboard,
which made account info entry much easier.
That's what I think I know.
HTH,
Richard

I have numerous naive questions.
We purchased a wi fi ready tv.
We have never used that feature as of yet.
My wife who is low vision records a lot on the dvr.
We have verizon fios.
We are ttold by year's end there will be taling menus. I'll believe it whenn it
happens.
So I am intterested in apple tv. What is the cost for the current version?
I understand tthat apple tv let's you use netflicks, huulu, etc.
Are the cost off these apps in addition to the base apple price, or included in
the base price?
I would like to"cut the cord" next summer with fios when my contract ends and
use apple tv and or apps.
I am not clear as to the types of programs available on netflicks, hulu, etc.
If these apps include the regular 4 major network programms, what is the delay
or lag time to access the shows after their orifinal network broadcast?
My wife recorded big brother the other night. It was interupted by weather
bulletins, so the next day on her phone she watched it on the cbs app for free.
Why would someone pay for netflicks or huluu if programs are free on network
apps?
and I am a big mlb fan and we do not have the mlb network on fios. I understand
it is available with apple tv. Would that be a add on cost.
thank ou for any assistance with any or all of this.
